Chapter 3
Cristina was just outside Sam Harold's room when she heard Mr. Harold
"Oh, thank you so much for understanding Dr. Andrew. And yes she would be here today. She is very professional. She said that she would be here today, so she would be here today" Mr. Harold said.
"Off course I would be. Sam is my patient after all. And patient's wishes come before anything else, right Dr. Bailey". Cristina said, as she entered the patient's room.
"CRISTINA YANG!" Dr. Bailey exclaimed, with a huge smile.
"Dr. Bailey", Cristina rushed towards her and gave her a tight hug. Cristina has never been a very expressive person, in fact she hardly ever shares her true feelings or shows emotions, especially in front of a crowd, but today she just couldn't help herself. Although Dr. Bailey was a general surgeon and Cristina has always been more into cardio, but still she was Cristina's, resident, her first teacher, who taught her the basics of being a surgeon, her first mentor. Dr. Bailey was the one who sat beside Cristina all night, after her surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, when she an intern at SGH. Cristina was Dr. Bailey's baby and she was like a mother Cristina never had.
"How are you Dr. Bailey?" Cristina asked, as she let out of her embrace.
"I am good. How are you? Hey, nobody told me that you were coming. Why didn't anyone tell me that you were coming?"
"Well maybe because no one else knows that I was coming. Mrs. Harold called me last night and here I am".
"Well, it's good to see you Yang"
"You too Dr. Bailey"
"Dr. Cristina Yang, from Ohio, Clevend Clinic." Dr. Andrew asked a little surprised.
"Yup, that's me" Cristina replied, turning her attention to all the other people in the room.
"Well no doubt Mrs. Harold was so insistent that you should do her son's surgery"
"Why, thank you"
"Patrick Andrew, the head of cardiothoracic surgery" Dr. Andrew extend his hand for a shake.
"Nice, to meet you Dr. Andrew" Cristina politely shook his hand.
"Dr. Yang, thank you so much for coming all the way her, also on such a short notice. We know how crazy busy you always are" Mrs. Harold said
"You don't have to thank me for anything Mrs. Harold. This is my job and Sam is my patient, and my patients are my top priorities".
"Hey Sam, how are you feeling?" Cristina asked Sam who looked quite worried.
"Ok, I guess" Sam replied in a weak voice. Cristina patted lightly on his hand and turned towards his parents.
"Mr. and Mrs. Harold you don't need to worry about a single thing. I just need to go over Sam's latest labs and scans and hopefully along with Dr. Bailey and Dr. Andrew, we will come up with a fairly simple treatment plan. I will come up and talk to you guys as soon as I can"
"And you rest up Sam. I need you to be strong for your surgery. Ok. I will see you in a bit".
